When mentioning Endme’s brief lapse in attention, we have to take a moment to describe Zhou Wang’s outfit for today.
After returning from Taoyuan to West Lake Four Seasons, Xiao An urgently arranged for a spa therapist and a hairstylist to give Zhou Wang a quick facial and hairstyle makeover...
With his figure now clad in a well-tailored Kiton couture suit, Zhou Wang’s usually casual demeanor suddenly transformed.
"Noble, mysterious, with a hint of rebelliousness..."
Such an embarrassing description wasn’t from Zhou Wang himself, but rather narrated by a blushing Xiao An.
To make a sophisticated woman shy like a budding girl, you can imagine how strikingly handsome Zhou Wang must have been today...
The key is that he’s not just all grand show, but with the aura enhancement brought by the "Posture Training Book," he barely reached the level where even flowers would blossom at the sight of him.

From a distance, it was still okay, but within the confined space of the car, facing each other, the impact only grew stronger.
Endme definitely had a bit of a superficial attraction; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had a model boyfriend. So when she suddenly saw Zhou Wang as he was now, she was momentarily "dazzled."
Moreover, Zhou Wang seemed to be without an undershirt, and from Endme’s angle, she could faintly see Zhou Wang’s well-defined chest muscles through the open neckline, causing her heart to race...
Quickly realizing her own lapse, Endme looked up and met with Zhou Wang’s questioning gaze. Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly turned her head in slight panic.
"Um, Zhou... Mr. Zhou, what, what did you just ask me?"
Endme brushed back her long hair and spoke up.
"I was saying, doesn’t the company have a car service? Why are you here?"
Zhou Wang noticed the reason for Endme’s flustered state; he didn’t show anything unusual but found it somewhat amusing and intriguing.
Though being an influencer is a bit different from the entertainment industry, those who truly make a name for themselves in this field aren’t generally innocent.
Or rather, any "vanity fair" is naturally susceptible to corrupting human nature.
However...
Endme really was a refreshing exception among them.
Because... she belonged to the enviable "naturally gifted" category, having reached her current status with barely any effort.
Zhou Wang had read her detailed profile, Ji Xiaoxi, born in ’01, didn’t start from short videos but was initially a beauty influencer on Station A, amassing hundreds of thousands of fans in a very short time.
But truthfully, her makeup skills were quite terrible. She became popular only because some other female bloggers discovered her "divine looks," so everyone watched her videos to see the beauty...
She had the popular innocent big eyes, playful M-shaped lips, a high and delicate nose, and at the same time possessed Suzy’s signature bunny teeth, Huo Jianhua’s electric eyes, and Zhao Jinmai’s small face...
Especially after facing various doubts, Endme directly posted unedited, no-filter bare-face videos, once again garnering countless fans, propelling her into the short video influencer scene.
All her short videos had no suggestive content; the most daring she got was showing her toes.
Objectively speaking, with her qualifications, if she had any scheming techniques, in these one or two years, she would’ve amassed a million fans at least, rather than remaining in her current lukewarm state.
Compared to "Peng Shiqi ef," who had a similar level of looks, others were already far ahead...
"The company does provide a car service, but there was an issue with my gown at the last minute, so I had to find another one, which delayed my schedule. I had no choice but to head to the venue on my own..."
By now, Endme had calmed down, explaining with a bit of resignation, "Originally, Chen He... that’s my boyfriend, the one you saw last time, said he’d come pick me up on his motorcycle, but he ran into a small accident on the way and got stopped by the police... By the way, Mr. Zhou, are you going to the event as well?"
"Since I asked you to hop in, naturally, it’s along the way... But how come even though it’s our second meeting, you seem to be growing more distant from me?"
Zhou Wang joked good-naturedly.
Last time, the two had quite a pleasant interaction, Zhou Wang could sense Endme at least had a fondness for him—not necessarily the romantic kind, but this time, he could distinctly feel a change...
For some reason, it seemed like she spoke with a slight caution.
"Because I realized you’re a big shot, I can’t possibly interact with you as if with an ordinary heart..."
Endme smiled brightly, winking at Zhou Wang, "Suisui and I both can’t carry a tune when we sing; getting chosen for the program must be because of you, right?"
"I thought you were avoiding me because you’re worried your boyfriend might get angry,"
Zhou Wang didn’t deny, just smiled and said.
"There’s a bit of that too; he might be quite sensitive, so I didn’t want to cause any more misunderstandings..."
Endme nodded, openly admitting, but then hesitated, "Since you put it like that, should I just call you Zhou Wang then, but... can we be friends?"
"I thought we already were friends," Zhou Wang smiled lightly.
"That’s true."
Endme giggled, seemingly thinking of something, and curiously asked, "The way Suisui looked at you that day wasn’t simple, right? You two must have something going on?"
"She’s indeed craving my body..." Zhou Wang nodded with a playful grin.
"Hahaha, shameless!"
Hearing Zhou Wang’s slightly ambiguous words, Endme was convinced of her guess, Zhou Wang and Hua Suisui definitely had something going on... After all, when Hua Suisui mentioned Zhou Wang, she barely hid anything.
